If you installed the Apache web server (from the
apache package),
then your Web service is already up and running! Just point your
web browser at http://localhost.
The default page shown is /home/httpd/html/index.html.
You can edit this file (or completely replace it) to your liking.
All the CGI programs, icons, and html pages are stored in
/home/httpd, but this can be changed in the apache configuration
files, all of which are stored in /etc/httpd/conf/. Logs
of all httpd activity are kept in /var/log/httpd/.
Setting up your web site is as easy as adding your own HTML pages and
links to the /home/httpd/html/ directory. For more information
on customizing your web server we recommend a reference such as
